As a REALTOR(R) Safety Instructor, I am often asked which type of pepper spray I recommend. There are dozens of brands on the market. I highly recommend the ASP Palm Defender.
The Palm Defender is a cylindrical pepper spray unit with a safety at one end and a hole at the other where the pepper spray is discharged from. The unit also has a key ring attachment so that you can keep it with your car keys.
The pepper spray cylinder within the Palm Defender is replaceable, so if you discharge it you don't have to purchase a new unit (handy since you should test any unit you carry once a month with a short burst).
Because of its shape, the Palm Defender is easy to point. Whatever the end of the cylinder is pointing at will have pepper spray discharged at it.
These units run about thirty dollars, and replacement cylinders run about six or seven dollars apiece.
Be safe!
